Now JVM's sole purpose is to solve Larry Ellison's problems, so if you're not Larry Ellison and you don't have the same problems he does, then it's a total failure caging you, but a predatory trap serving him.

None of the technical arguments for JVM matter any more. It's just bait to trick you into sticking your hand under the lawnmower and helping Larry Ellison solve his problems.





Except JetBrains, Red-Hat, SAP, Azul, Oracle, Google, Microsoft, PTC, Aicas, Cisco, Ricoh, microEJ, Bluejay,... are also part of the Java party.

Microsoft largely cloned the Java Runtime to create the .NET Runtime and similarly cloned Java to create C#.

The two are so similar that Java bytecode to .NET bytecode translators exist. With some, it is possible to take a class defined in Java, subclass it with C#, call it from Java, etc...


I was in 2001 at a MSFT gold partner, you are skipping quite a few relevant steps on that timeline.
